It's hard to get into Vedder's mind and interpret his lyrics.. and maybe we shouldn't be. But I think maybe it's not actually a story, but a personal experience.. a near-death experience? Ok, Ed's known as a lover of surfing. There's a story about him surfing, and nearly drowning, only to be saved just in time. Well look at every pretty much every single line, starting with, "he made it to the ocean" and try and relate it to surfing. Kinda seems like he's talking about himself, when "a wave came crashing" on him, "arms wide open with the sea as his floor".. "flying high"... when suddenly he "floated back down." After all, a few times he writes in 1st-person point-of-view. Maybe I'm to much of a conspirator.. or who knows, maybe Eddie saw the light?? lol. Great song. |

I don't think this song needs to be interpreted so much. Eddie probably just busted out the lyrics one day and recorded this for the b-side to Jeremy. When it's played live, he always changes it up and mumbles so nice and doesn't really emphasize the lyrics. I bet he enjoys it, being as loaded as he is when they play. People have talking about the brother being killed/reading the letter explanation, and that it sounds, or somes from Hendrix's Little Wing. In one live version he says, "..my brother is dead" and they jam out Little Wing. Awesome song. |
